Juha Helppi raised in the hijack and James Devore three-bet in the cutoff. Helppi called and the flop came A♣Q♥5♠.

Helppi check-called, bringing the 9♠ turn where he check-called again.

The 3♠ river went check-check and Devore tabled the winner with K♥9♥ for a pair of nines, besting the 6♣5♣ of Helppi.
